Join us for the presentation of the winners of the 2018 UN Day Media Awards.

Since 1979, UNAA has been acknowledging the work of Australian journalists to raise awareness and understanding of humanitarian issues.

The quality of this year’s entrants is exceptional and will be showcased during the Presentation Dinner.

The dinner will be hosted by SBS host and presenter, Sarah Abo.

Special Guest Speaker will be Simon Balderstone, AM, Chair of the Australian Himalayan Foundation.

Simon is a journalist, author, consultant, former Prime Ministerial adviser and member of the first Australian Everest Expedition in 1984.

In 2007, he was awarded an AM for service to environmental protection and Indigenous affairs, to the Olympic movement, and to the community through organisations providing health, education, cultural and development assistance services.

Simon will discuss the humanitarian work being done by the Foundation to build sustainable, cohesive communities in the Himalaya, and current issues facing the overseas development aid sector.
